Quarantined Day 2 – Today In Madrid
With some funeral services halted in the Spanish capital and no space left in the morgues, corpses are being stored at the main ice rink. Intensive-care wards overflowing and new rules dictate that older patients miss out to younger people with a better shot at surviving, Bernabeu said by telephone. “That grandpa, in any other […]
Civility, Faith and A Choice
It’s amazing and incredibly sad how divided we have become as a nation. As a country we have for some time been separate from the rest of the world. America was seen as different, as something that everyone (almost) wanted to be a part of. Wars have been started and good men and women dies for […]
9/11 Thirteen Years Later
I was jarred out of sleep by my cell phone ringing on one of the few days I could sleep in. It was my wife calling to tell me to turn on the TV because a plane had crashed into a building in New York. I worked at that time for a software company based […]

September 11 – 11 Years Later
The anniversary of 9/11 always brings back memories of that terrible day. The newscasts that seem to go on forever, the uneasiness that was felt as we weren’t really sure what else may happen. The shock of someone coming to our shores and attacking us in such a brazen attempt to kill and injure civilians. […]
Airlines Just Don’t Get It
Just read on CNN [external link] that certain airlines are shrinking legroom in their coach seats. Being 6’3″ I have some experience with these small seats. “Not comfortable” doesn’t begin to cover it. In the article there are some stats of ‘seat pitch’ and other factors but a 3rd grader can tell you that given […]
The Old Neighborhood – Part VI – Jade East Hideout
If you’ve lived in Memphis for a while you will probably remember the Jade East murders which occurred on October 20, 1987. Jade East was a restaurant on Austin Peay next to the Post Office just north of Yale Road. Three men entered in broad daylight and killed 3 family members who owned and operated […]
